Thank you!
 

ooops! Here goes my identity!

Thanks to those for nice comments post a certain Police crash last year!
I took alot of grief from press, politicians etc!
Just for the record it was a loss of tail rotor control at 560' in the hover!

Man, I admire your situational awareness!

I think if I'd lost my tail rotor I would have no clue as to what any of the instruments read at the time, let alone to an accuracy of 10 ft on the radalt.

Arm out the window:

Wish I'd had time!! Height stated was given by ATC from their pretty radar picture!
I could only say that it was between 500' & 600'!
Instruments??? What instruments!!!?

Well done again Roofus,

It also makes sense of your name now ROOFus.hehe.

11 out of 10 for keeping it the right way up although if you meant to put it in the garden then your confined area technique needs a bit more practice ;) Well done.

I believe that the people who owned the house have a son who is in the MET police.

Fantastic job Roofus, definatly not one to be ashamed of!!

Beers are on me!!!

Excellent work, an example to us all.

So were you going to buy the house or just browsing the area to see if you liked it ?

Well done either way.

Roofus,
I was one of those who used your incident as a prime example for my very hotly contested point of view, whilst I still have my opinions , I must say that the outcome was very commendable, and the end result, well, it can all be repaired, and you are well enough to discuss it, well done!!
My Regards
